Beca's POV
It had been a week since Jesse and I talked about hiding our relationship from everyone. We've done pretty well so far, but it's getting harder and harder to do so. I'm not ready to tell anyone about us, but I just want to hold his hand or kiss him when he does something dorky and cute, but I can't do that if we're out in public. He hasn't been complaining too much, but I know it's just because he doesn't want to make me upset.
Today was especially hard. We were at the radio station stacking CDs like usual. Jesse decided that it would be better to mess with me than to talk to me about our relationship situation. He started by playing with my hair, twirling it. I didn't think anything of it, just thought he was being silly or testing the limits of our rule. But as the day progressed, he began to grab my waist whenever both Luke and I weren't paying attention. I glared at him whenever he did this, but I couldn't help but melt from his touch. All I wanted was to be able to show at least a little affection for each other in public. I was beginning to think my rules needed to be removed.
During our break, we went out to the empty parking lot and sat on top of my car. Before I could say anything about the rule, Jesse began to mess with me a little more. Every time I would open my mouth to say anything, he would trace his finger up and down my thigh or just place his hand on my thigh. After a few minutes of him doing this, I began to ignore it and push past it.
"Ok. That's enough of your messing around. I was thinking that maybe we could… tell everyone? I'm getting sick of having to hide this. I want to be able to kiss you if you do something dorky, or just hold your hand." I admitted.
"I figured if I continued to show affection, even if it was just small bits, I could get you to realize how much you wanted to be able to do things like that in public. Even if it didn't work, I still would be able to mess with you and touch you distractingly. Your reactions are hilarious." He explained, grinning.
"Yeah, yeah. Now, we have to get back to work. So how about before we go back in there, you text the Bellas and Trebles in the group message, and tell them to meet us after work. Don't explain, just tell them to meet us at our rehearsal building about ten minutes after we get off." I said, hopping off the car and opening the group message on my phone to see what they say.
Fat Amy replied for the Bellas and Benji for the Trebles. Fat Amy said ok and Benji just said see you there. We went back to work and the time went by very quickly.
It's another page break!
"Sooo, why did you want all of us to meet you here?" Chloe asked, waving us over to where all of the chairs were set up.
"Well… we have something to tell you guys. Beca, would you like to tell them?" Jesse said, sitting down beside me.
"Yes. Ok, so as you all know, Jesse and I said we were just going to be friends. It was best for our situation. Well… we lied. Jesse and I have been together ever since he met me here a week ago. I told him that we should keep our relationship hidden, that I was too nervous to tell everyone so soon. Today, Jesse changed my mind by… showing me how nice it was to be able to show affection. So after a while of him doing this, I realized we should come clean to you guys." I confessed, getting a bit confused as to why all the Bellas were handing everyone one of the Trebles something.
"Did you guys bet on how long we were going to wait before we told you?" Jesse asked, looking as shocked as I was.
"Uh… yeah. Sorry dude. But it was pretty obvious how into each other you guys are, and the Bellas told us a little about what Beca told them before she met you here. So we put two and two together." Donald piped in, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh, wow. Um...ok. I guess that's… ok." Jesse stuttered. I started to say something to the Bellas, but Fat Amy started talking.
"So… are we ever going to see you guys kiss? Or are we just going to have to continue to wait?" I rolled my eyes. I would not kiss him unless he did something super dorky and/or cute. I knew what would happen if we did kiss, and I would only do that if it was worth it.
It was like Jesse read my mind, because right after I thought that, he leaned over and whispered in my ear.
"I know it's completely your decision, but… I have a feeling we should kiss. Not just to get them off of our backs, but because I really want to kiss you and I have all day. I'm sure the feeling is mutual." I nod and smile at him. We begin to kiss and everyone shouts and yells, not unexpectedly. I love the way his lips feel against mine, to be honest, I just love everything about him. I think I'm in love with him. Well, I know I'm in love with him.
